This is far from just disconnecting the plug. It might have taken you 5 mins to disconnect the plug, but I highly doubt it took you 5 mins to locate the correct wires and properly connect them.
I have bypassed my own rf amp and understand exactly what you mean.Are you even reading my posts?
Nowhere did I ever say it took me 5 minutes to find and tap into the speaker wires. Where did you get that? Just for clarification, I said it took me 5 minutes to locate where the wire harensses hooked into the factory amp and to disconnect them. Add on another 30 minutes or so to read the wiring diagram, locate correct speaker wires and tap into them.
As for the amp issue it really is common sense. Using the factory HU? Then use the factory amp. Not using the factory head unit? Then don't use factory amp. Quite simple.
